All in one remotes?

Britman (Mostly Harmless) posted this on Thursday, 13th September 2001, 17:59

I must have five different remote controls for TV to DVD so I decided to get one of those all in one things. But I can`t get it to work with my Telewest digital set top box. I`ve now tried two different makes and neither work. Does anyone know of a multi-remote that will work with my Telewest box, Sharp widescreen TV, Daewoo VCR and Bush DVD as well as my Hi-Fi?

Thanks
Mark

Out of interest, Britman, is it a Pace set top box perchance ?

These are known to work on unique modulation codes, allegedly to enable owners to take part in multi-gaming at some stage in the future. Thus, URCs (Universal Remote Controls) and learning remotes can`t be switched to operate Pace boxes.

Mind you, two remotes is better than 5 !

I had a similar problem. When I bought my new Samsung WS TV, the one for all I used to hack my DVD wouldn`t re-program for my TV, neither would the Sky Digital handset. After a LOT of calls to both Samsung & SKY, it turns out that my TV is ahead of both handsets, so no amount of trying, "magic" button or not, will get my TV compatible with them. BASTARDS!!!!

My all-in-one 6 remote didn`t work with NTL`s pace box, but a quick phone call to the support line and they downloaded a new code over the phone for me ! Works fine now.

My only remaining problem is to get it to work with my Lecson DVD900. They don`t have a code for it yet.

I`m using the E.pilot remote and that won`t work with my telewest box either. ( yep it`s a pace too)
anyone know if it`s upgradeable?

Hi Mos,

I am using the "One For All 6" URC-7560. I couldn`t find a code for my Eclipse 695, so I used the learning function on the OFA6. Works fine on the DVD player now
